Winserve Process Serving GPS Capture Software

TriStar Software leads the cutting edge of the process serving industry with advanced and streamlined solutions. Utilizing new and proven technology to its fullest is a core design philosophy of our company.  WinServe uses GPS and decades of programming knowledge to ensure ironclad accuracy, simplifying business for our clients. Capitalizing on the mobility and flexibility of the smartphone, WinServe puts powerful tools and features at your fingertips no matter where you are.
Our process server website can be accessed from the office or on the road, eliminating unnecessary paperwork and travel. A high-end smartphone is not required, just an internet connection. However, we do have an optional Android app available.  As an added measure of protection, your sensitive transmissions and data are always encrypted. We take security seriously at TriStar and have dedicated IT.  With peace of mind and convenience, gone are the days of running back to the office!

WinServe uses GPS to authenticate the location of photographs, eliminating sewer serves and complications. There are no gimmicks or expensive programs to purchase from third parties. With Winserve, GPS-capture is fully integrated. Servers can conveniently send geotagged pictures from anywhere. Our proprietary program extracts and presents the image to your client, complete with longitude and latitude, in an easy-to-read format. Logging diligence attempts or final status only takes a few taps on a phone screen. As if the convenience and savings aren’t enough to make WinServe appealing, New York City recently passed a law mandating the collection of coordinates in all process serving.

TriStar Software’s products are completely customizable. Our dedicated programming staff knows our programs and the industry inside and out. Do you require special features that aren’t in WinServe?  Have a demanding client that wants information presented in a different manner?  We’re always ready to meet your business needs and we’ll work closely with you to achieve them.

Calspro 2011

Calspro has historically been good to us.  We have made several important connections and won the business of several Calspro members including seven of the 11 board members and the president.  Since this convention is so important to us we made the decision last year that we would double down and send two staff members to the show.  Doug and I were the lucky Tristar participants this year.

One of the few drawbacks to living in San Luis Obispo County is the lack of a decent airport.  There would be no easy travel to Reno.  We were going to need to drive.  I’m not going to lie; the drive up there is a long one.  To get there Doug and I drove up I-5 and cut over on the 80.  We visited with a couple clients in Sacramento to break up the drive.  The 80 between Reno and Sacramento is beautiful.   As luck would have it this weekend was also the Street Vibrations Fall Rally, a very large Harley Davidson event which brings thousands of bikers into Reno.  We knew right away this was going to be an entertaining weekend.

Friday evening began with a meet and greet cocktail party.  We saw many familiar faces and met some new ones.  Meeting Pete Lazetich, a former San Diego Charger great and owner of Reno Carson Messenger was really cool.  I am pretty much nuts when it comes to Chargers football.  Listening to Pete sing some Johnny Cash was something I’ll remember for a long time.

The show itself was one of our best.  Right away we had new prospective clients looking at our products.  They were impressed with the way our Process Service software handled GPS; billing, statements, and they loved the Smartphone apps for their process servers.  Our dispatch and order tracking mechanisms also impressed.  I don’t remember the last time our booth was this busy at a show.   Our Investigations program was also a hit with the many private investigators that attended the show, as too was Wincopy our Subpoena preparation-mobile photocopy program with those who do that type of work.

We also had the best schwag.  Pens, magnets, we didn’t go there.  Instead I had my wife come up with some products from her skin care line.  Oluvskin is her skin care line; the primary ingredient is our extra virgin olive oil.  We gave out soaps, chap stick, and olive oil with our logo on the packaging.  People loved it!

Another highlight of our trip was our Saturday night dinner adventure.  We had the cabbie bring us to one of the best steakhouses in Reno.  Since neither Doug nor I were patient enough to wait two hours to be seated, we ended up going to Ichiban, a Japanese steakhouse.  As luck would have it we would share our table with a woman who’s loosely connected to our industry.  She writes software for medical facilities.  We’d also share the table with some boisterous semi-drunk partiers.  When we weren’t laughing we were enjoying some amazing cuisine.  Our chef was an aboslute ninja.  He was amazing!

Sunday’s drive home was long, thank goodness for Sirius NFL radio.  It took two and a half NFL games including a Chargers win to get home.  Although we’ll miss Reno, we were happy to learn that next year’s show will be in Anaheim which is  much closer.  See you guys next year!
